   Rapid advances in modern technology present companies with quickly expanding marketing opportunities, but they also create an over-saturated business landscape that both helps and hurts brands. In this thorough investigation of brand strength in the accelerated modern business world, Nigel Hollis draws on his experience at Millward Brown to present a simple formula for determining brand strength based on two axes, Presence (or familiarity) and Voltage (or marketing appeal), to illustrate the market value and performance of brands. He analyzes the five steps of customer commitment to a strong brand — Presence, Relevance, Performance, Advantage, and Bonding. Finally, Hollis emphasizes human nature as a set of constant core values that all brands should appeal to, and analyzes the future of brand-building as a profitable investment.

A History of Poland is a lucid examination of the rise of a state which, throughout centuries, spanned the civilizations of the West and East. Prazmowska explains the roots of Polish Christianity and accounts for its tenacity. She also offers a bold analysis of the origins and background to the development of a deeply patriotic nation, discussing the political and cultural roots of Polish nationalism while at the same time demonstrating why the Polish Question has been an insoluble problem in European politics.

The construction of new nations and peoples in the nineteenth century forms the middle third, and the final section analyzes economic development, rising political participation, and the search of identity over the last century. The collision of peoples and cultures — Native Americans, Europeans, Africans — that defines Latin America, and gives it both its unity and diversity, provides the central theme of this concise, synthetic history.

   With the accelerating integration of China into the global economy, there is a thirst to understand Chinese leadership styles and how Chinese employees like to be managed. There is no doubt that China can be a difficult and risky market for foreign businesses, with many surprises, disappointments and frustrations. China is certainly a special challenge. This engaging new work from Barbara Xiaoyu Wang and Harold Chee emerged out of their experiences of living and working in China both as managers and trainers of Chinese managers and leaders extensively over the last 12 years. The authors experienced and witnessed many faux pas by foreign companies and businessmen and often a major contributing factor was the many assumptions that foreign companies have about not only the Chinese marketplace but how to manage Chinese employees. What are the Chinese leadership styles, the patterns of communications, phenomenon of 'face', 'guanxi', and 'harmony', etc.? This book will dispel the myths that have built up in the West about Chinese Leadership. It has a practical focus and provides a framework for executives and managers to ask the right questions, make the right decisions and take the right strategies.
